Hamilton Public Library celebrates its birthday

In 1890, the Hamilton Public Library opened. In 1889, a bylaw was passed to create a Public Library in Hamilton, and by October of that year, a cornerstone for the first library building was laid by Judge Muir, the first chairman of the Public Library Board. Hamilton Public Library was the third public

As someone who sees this as a ob I have been in business since 2013 , rather than as a hobby, I

too suffer from the doldrums from time to time. And when I do, I echo some of Randy's solutions. I

check the Canadian websites, and Facebook to see if there is anything new I should be aware of.

There is always news to discover somewhere!

I set aside some time in my day so that I can listen to the latest webinars, or watch the latest Google

Hangouts on Air, or check my Google Alerts.

So there are lots of things that you can do. Even phone, or email a genealogy friend to see how

things are going. Or a short drive to your local repository. It all helps!

But the one thing that keeps me going and provides me with inspiration is that I am in the business of

helping people.

I help people find their Canadian ancestors those who emigrated from other

counties or migrated up here from the United States to find a better life. One thing that Canada had,

that emigrants wanted, was land and we had plenty of undeveloped land.

So excuse me while I return to work.
